Sittin' at a bar in San Padre
Whiskey meltin' ice in my glass
When she walked up and said, "Cowboy
Do those old boots like to dance?"
The band was playin' something sorta Spanish and blue
I spilled half my drink, easin' off that stool
And the way she smiled
I knew she knew she had me
We burned so fast
It was pretty while it lasted
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
Verse: 2
I remember it was rainin'
The morning that the fire went out
She left a kiss on a matchbook
Slipped off without makin' a sound
I held her long enough to know I couldn't hold her
But the world felt good with her head on my shoulder
And the way she smiled
I knew she knew she had me
We burned so fast
It was pretty while it lasted
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
Bridge
Ain't no tellin' where she is right now
I think I'll drink another while I sit and think about
And the way she smiled
We burned so fast
It was pretty while it lasted
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
Just like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
